[Madlug] MythTV & DishTV

[Thomas Landmann]

Hi Tim,

I use MythTV with DishNet here.  It works fine.  I have one HD receiver and
two standard-def receivers, but my MythTV bax is recording from one of the
SD receivers with a PVR-350 card.

I stopped using MythTV for about 6 months (PC had to be re-purposed- don't
ask! :-( ) but am in the midst of getting things operational again.

In addition to the IR remote receiver on the capture card, you will want an
IR transmitter to allow MythTV to change channels on the satellite
receiver.  The following has worked well for me in the past, but I have not
got it working yet this time around:

By the way, using the MythUbuntu control panel to install/configure MythTV
on Ubuntu 7.10 works great!
